This was my third time on Maui, and every time I go there it does not get boring, in fact it is the opposite, I love it even more. This is my getaway place. Over the next couple of posts I'll be sharing more photos of this amazing corner of the earth.

I usually try to take at least one photo on my iPhone so I get the exact geo tag that I can later apply to my RAW photos from Canon.

A plane taking off from Kahului Maui airport

While I was waiting in the bay for planes to take off from Kahului Maui airport, this massive US Air-force plane passed by.

Sunrise over Haleakala crater

When you don't know what to take a picture of, you stick your camera into any plant, open aperture to f/1.4 and release a shutter.

One of the most magical things I have ever seen in my life was the sunrise over Haleakala crater, a volcano on East Maui. During my multiple trips to Hawaii, I've been up the crater over 6 times. There's nothing like it anywhere else. You feel that you can be on a whole other planet easily.

Grapes anyone?

Here's another magical place. After about a 30-40 minute hike and climbing down with a rope all the way to the water you reach this tiny bay with a lava beach, turquoise water and a cave.

Scene at the end of the hike. This is by far my favorite photo from this entire set.
